OK, you chose to go down branch X, but if MWI is true then in some
other worlds you chose to follow branch Y; and in all worlds you
made the choice you did for a reason in which case it was rational
and deterministic or you made the choice for no reason in which case
it was random. Roulette wheel or cuckoo clock, take your pick.
Free will is the ability to make choice, and for that you *need* some
amount of determinacy, and its necessary self-indeterminacy.
Randomness adds nothing, as you see well.
